Finally got a tablet. Having fun with discovering what I can do with it, I got out an old drawing (I was 10)and try to redraw it.
I think it was my version of "evil" at that time.
Anyway, the tablet is a great tool to have.

Nice drawing... I posted a question awhile back about my Wacom Intuous2 6x9 tablet. I am new to computer graphics in general, and even newer to this tablet. What are you doing your drawings in? I've had a heck of a time trying to use it in XaraX...
Any help would be great!!!

Neat drawing ... and pretty neat for a 10 or even older year old
Gismo ...
what do you mean you've had a heck of a time using it in XaraX ... does it not work in XaraX? Or perhaps you expect it to work differently. The effects of a tablet are perhaps more visible in a program like Painter (or photoshop, paint shop pro, photoimpact, or programs with pixel based tools which support tablet pressure) . In XaraX, the lines thicknesses don't change with differeing pressure unless you have one of the other brush styles selected (not the normal line for which the stroke shape drop down is used to select a line shape).
In xarax with different brush styles than normal, they can be edited to show transparency or size differences with pen pressure.

Gismo .... I only have a graphire so i'm jealous [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] (the Intuos has a tilt feature which when used with Painter , you can use it like a wide flat brush and depending on how it's positioned will have the line wide or thin or go between as you draw .... that would be neat).The Intuos comes with Painter Classic. Did you try that out. It would show off the pressure capabilities of the tablet nicely ... at least in that program

I am in the USAF stationed in Okinawa, the Intuos I bought cam with Japanese software, so I couldn't use it...I had to download the English language drivers fromthe Wacom website. I do have Photoshop Elements, I would imagine that it works the same way...just need to take the time to mess around with it I guess

on the tablet--and try out the Painter Classic that came with it, or the Photoshop Elements...the attachment is the first thing I tried with the Painter program back last Sept. You may find working with this program first will get you started and then try it with XaraX... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

P.S. This is also a Graphire tablet...
and I have one with Hummingbirds. I have one visits my window every morning and waits there untill I he sees me, it's the oddest thing. The other day I was out side getting ready to leave and he came and circled me TWICE and then hovered in front of me and then off to feed some more [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Talk about stunning me. I was speachless for a few moments. I love the little dickens, then I see this fabulous painting you did, just wonderful Maya [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Talk about someone needing to post something in the Gallery, this is a piece that many would love to see!!!

I was taking a walk in the Spring several years ago, and saw a young sparrow in a large parking lot. It obviously could not quite fly, but was trying and could only fly at about knee high.
I stopped and talked to it, and it peeped at me several times, and proceeded to follow me home, about 4 blocks, flying ahead of me, then waiting and peeping at me. I thought this was so cute, that it had bonded with me, but forgot about the neighborhood cats.
Whitey, my neighbor's cat, appeared out of nowhere like lightning, snatched my new buddy and ran off with the poor bird screeching and peeping. I figured Whitey wasn't really hungry, being a spoiled cat, and was just giving in to the hunting instinct, so I tried to run him down and save the little bird, but Whitey must have thought I wanted to steal his dinner (I did), and ran where I could not get to him. I don't know the fate of the little sparrow, but I always felt badly that I led him to an early demise. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
There are many hummingbirds in the Rockies south of Denver, and it is amazing to see 5 or 6 of them buzzing around the feeders you see everywhere. Incredible birds, and very friendly.
Beautiful image, Maya.

Yes, I, too, love "hummers" and have two feeders out for them. There are several that winter over here and of course now many new ones are arriving. They are really comical and fun to watch---and they will get very bold and come right up to you. I think they know they are the fastest things around and so have no fear of us. They do amazing arial acrobatics while dog-fighting and trying to impress "the girls".
This is again the time of the year for new fledglings! I've done my share of handraising quite a few to release. Next time, Dale, if you think a young bird needs help place it up high in the bushes...the cats are everywhere and do get a lot of young birds, unfortunately. Usually the parents are not far off, but your little guy clearly couldn't find "mom" and must have been hungry and lonely. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] That's how it goes sometimes. This image was one of my first with any program...maybe I'll post it in the gallery for anyone who likes hummingbirds...
Thanks RAMWolff and Dale!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
